They pass all this experience down. I think that helped today.

There is no evidence of that.
I doubt these players playing in 2022 have even talked to any of the players that played in 2010 or 2014.
The US have been the better team all tournament. Iran was poor against England, and got lucky in extra time against Wales after a very late red.
US dominated Wales in the first half, to then have a poor second half, and were very strong against the England side that dominated Iran.
The US were just the better squad. If there were some players that played in 2018 on this team that played in some big games then maybe, but stuff from 8 or 12 years ago is irrelevant.
